Very good business model I love Ebates! I hope we can get more cash back on in store merchant that would be fantastic!
Great service, customer service and good deals, very fast shipping, good experience, I will buy again, five stars
Impressed with direction of company. I am hoping they develop a continued strong presence in the advertising and marketing efforts.
I do a good amount of shopping on Amazon and didn't realize until after I placed an order that only certain big ticket items count. I don't do that and other online ordering I do is not part of your site, so service is of no use to me.
So far color me impressed. I have had a great experience especially with built in browser support. The ability to shop my favorite sites and be notified of savings is great.
This site is really clever, they lure the customer by high rewards and referral program and after you genuinely sign up and purchase, they close account saying that you have violated our terms. When I asked the reason behind that they mention that i have duplicate accounts and the same person is managing other accounts. Now they are not providing visible proof that can prove it. By such way anyone can judge and write in email that you have violated terms.Is it professional? Is it customer centric?
Example: They are so idiot that referring friends and family is provided then someone from my family (member) purchases after referred by me so definitely, his/her address could be same of mine, which they found violation as in their record address is found same.Are you people dumb?
By reading positive review you will find useful and signed up but later on you will have real test of this site. Just avoid!
Glad I joined Rakuten. You can keep track of your shopping trips and pending cash back. The cash back feels like a bonus award.
They always do well if customer service is needed. The super points is a pretty good deal. I haven't used rakuten much before, but lately I've been shopping there more. If you factor in the super points, the prices aren't so bad.
Please note, this review applies to rakuten.com/shop, as the rakuten.com site now deals with rebates ("ebates") for other stores. Thank you.
I made a purchase using Rakeuten. I don't remember what I bought because it was 2 months ago, but I do remember using the website. It was enjoyable. I will do it again some day.
I loved every part of my experience with rakuten. From the time I saw a deal on my phone, I signed up online and completed my purchase in no time at all. I loved how seamless everything is integrated to complete my purchase and would definitely keep shopping at Rakuten.
I was pleased on my experience shopping with rakuteen. I was not wowed by my experience but I was not disappointed.
It's good. I love Rakuten.

To date, our 12 million members in the U.S. have earned over $1 billion in Cash Back at their favorite stores.
Love Rakuten. It's so easy so use. What's better than shopping like you normally do and then get a discount and a check back for using the service.
I enjoy going shopping my favorite stores and getting cash back for doing so! Who doesn't Love Cash Back!
Anyone should be happy to receive money back. I'm always happy when I order something through Rakutin and receive money back even if it's only 30 cents.
I don't really use it because I don't really shop at the stores on the list. It takes a long time to get even $5.00. And it expires with in a month of earning it... it's just weird... and kind of like having a second job.
I got a great price on the 65 inch Samsung TV. I never heard of this website and was very skeptical that it was a scam. I got the TV, it was brand new in the box with a full warranty from Samsung, at a fantastic price! Great website recommends it highly. I got a great price on the 65 inch Samsung TV. I never heard of the site it was very skeptical that it was a scam. Got the TV, it was brand new in the box one for warranty from Samsung, at a fantastic price! Great website recommend highly.
Thought I would have to jump through hoops, but it is quite easy. Even recieved my first check. I am using frequently. Just wish I knew where the machine that gives money for saying the name correctly was... lol

Answer: Hi Mike, This is a great idea. I'll make sure that our leadership team is aware of this suggestion and I'll see what we can do to make it happen in the future. We know that Ebates is the best Cash Back shopping service, but we appreciate your confirmation of this fact.
Answer: I can't answer about the owner ripping people off. All I know is I have ordered from Rakuten numerous times and have nothing but praise for them. I haven't read the bad reviews but I've gotten nothing but good products.
Answer: I can't tell you I would buy again. I had no help from rakuten when needed. They said they are not responsible for the sellers since they work as an online shopping center. I would suggest you buying at Amazon. I never had problems with them. Regards
Answer: I dont know there some wierred how come I just order some jewelry.com and I order two earring only and its just 30.00 dollars. But when I use debates the price went up to high.
Answer: If it for some reason doesn't show like it should, I contact ebates. I include a copy of the email with the information from the order placed. Normally I wait until the purchase has arrived. This gives ebates and the store to put the transaction in your account.
